Serving Kids Collection

now-Sept 30–Serving Kids Collection
The Serving Kids program provides new and near-new clothing, including jeans, coats, shoes and more, to Jeffco school children who are in need. Over the 2025/26 school year, 1789 clothing requests, including 38,212 items of clothing, were filled for students from at least 120 schools. This number does not include students from families who were referred through other local services like ‘Head Start’. The highest demand was in August, September, and October, with an average of 5,475 clothing items distributed each month during that period.
School personnel are usually the first to recognize the need. Clothing is delivered to the employee, who then gives it to the student. The program is supported with donations of children’s clothing and cash from around the community. Cash donations are used to purchased new socks and underwear for each student, as well as new high demand items such as jeans and sneakers. Serving Kids collects gently used and laundered clothing appropriate for school, sizes 3T to adult XXXL. We will be collecting clothing and funds through the month of September. Bring clothing items and place them in the bin the foyer. For funds, you can write a check and put Serving Kids in the memo line, give cash (indicate it is for Serving Kids) or give online. We will collect through the end of September.
